Cartilha sobre conceitos básicos de química para inclusão de alunos surdos em sala de aula

Abstract

In regular schools, deaf students depend on interpreters for learning, which may harm the interaction with their colleagues. In order to provide the deaf students more autonomy in the learning process at classroom and interactions their classmates, we presented a didactical material entitled "Primers about basic concepts of Chemistry", a booklet about basic concepts of Chemistry, using simple and objective text and also analogies with color clips representing atoms. This article aims to report the theoretical bases for the elaboration of one educational material, the application in the classroom and the evaluation of results with deaf students in two classes from public high school. We observed that the deaf students left their interpreter to interact with classmates and they properly answered questions about the content, thereby, we believe that the material was appropriate and may be available for use by deaf students in other contexts. Keywords: Chemistry teaching. Deafness. Inclusion.
